Bucket tek vs 55 gallon drum pasteurizer

Hi I am about to do my first S2B and I wanted to make my own sub instead of spending $250+. I found this on marketplace and I was wondering if it would work better than BOD’s or Damion’s bucket tek? Also does anyone know how I would use it?

Nope. Pasteurizing is usually overkill if your coir is good quality. Get reptile bedding coir and do bucket tek if you want to be safe and you'll be good.
Only if you add uncolonized nutrients to your substrate do you want to actually make sure you don't fuck up pasteurization. If your sub contams it means you had the contam from the start or a cricket bit from shitty Q/Ced coir.
All my tubs are "pasteurized" by just cooking coir on the stove for a bit. Basically I'm so confident in it that I'm really just pre-breaking down the coir a bit for the mycelium to tear through. They seem to like it.
Exo-terra is just perfect IME. Haven't had a single bad run with them and it's quite cheap especially if you get it from the pet store. If you have a large grow op you'd rather look at bulk coir though but that might be worse quality overall which would warrant pasteurizing (just dig through it every now and then and see if you find rocks/bug bits/unidentified alien shit).

Also... this might be worth your interest if you're set on pasteurizing.

Bod and Damien’s bucket teks employ coir, so no, you don’t need that for their bucket teks. If you are trying to do more than one brick at a time get a container large enough to handle the quantity you need like this.

Coir isn't really needed for heat treatment. Idk the cost of that but it's probably over priced. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/6972036#6972036
Depending on what you want to grow on it. A plan burn barrel on top of a brick made fire pit is gold to heat up 40 gallons of straw or manure to 160f to 165f, the water will keep it warm enough for pasteurization. Cost more in the brick them the barrel itself.

Hey beef I was wanting to add manure to my sub to see the benefits and this is why I wanted the pasteurizer. What’s you optimism on adding manure?

That is a big pasteurizer, so if you are not planning to pasteurize a lot of manure at once there are many other smaller more cost efficient ways to pasteurize manure.
All of my cubensis grows are with horse manure and coir. Concerning the benefits of horse manure with cubensis, there are no real benefits growth performance-wise with manure over coir. Some strains will like manure over coir and vice versa therefore causing people to say that one is superior than the other growth performance-wise in general, but that is not true.
The real benefits of manure are cost, and it’s fortification of beneficial, thermophilic microbes. Coir and horse manure a very similar texture-wise. Coir costs money but is easier to source, it is inert and is easy to prepare . Manure from a horse pasture is free, but takes time to gather and the cost of gas to collect. Manure also takes longer to prepare to pasteurize, and requires some babysitting, initially, to pasteurize until you have your pasteurization technique and method(s) dialed in.
